Yesterday, Wired Productions, in collaboration with Just Add Water, announced their next virtual reality game, DIG VR, during Wired Direct ’24. This game stands out as the first VR game focused on excavation machinery, exclusively for Meta Quest. DIG VR allows players to take control of diggers in various sizes and with a plethora of attachments, set against the backdrop of the quaint town of Diglington.
DIG VR is not just a simple digger simulator; it aims to provide a full-fledged gaming experience that appeals to both newcomers and seasoned gamers. Players start with a basic mini-digger and work their way up to massive machines capable of tackling challenging projects. This progression is coupled with a career mode that introduces players to the residents of Diglington, who offer a variety of jobs ranging from standard construction to more creative and sometimes humorous tasks.
The game also offers a relaxed ‘Zen’ mode and a more demanding ‘Graded’ mode, catering to different player preferences. Customization is a big part of DIG VR, with over 70 options to personalize your digger. Moreover, the game includes a variety of mini-games, a sandbox mode, and a ‘Lost Treasure’ mode, which features regularly updated content.
DIG VR is designed to be accessible, offering both authentic and simplified control schemes to accommodate all players. Another unique feature is the in-game radio station, DIG FM, which provides a selection of music to enhance the gameplay experience. This feature ensures that every digging session is accompanied by an original soundtrack that matches the mood of the work.
Wired Productions and Just Add Water have each shared their excitement about this game, citing their innovative use of VR technology to bring the digger controls to life. As the first digger game on the Quest platform, DIG VR is expected to attract a specific audience eager to experience this unique combination of construction work and creative gameplay.
